Did it feel fast?


Was that your very FIRST time ever doing the 1/4?

LOL, my very first time all I could think about was "don't hit the wall, don't hit the wall." Call me a little too cautious but I pulled a 13.12 at 110mph.

That kicks my ass with my 14.99 at 93 mph.
The was in my 64 Fairlane with the Hipo 289.


The very FIRST run with the Vette was at the 1974 All Corvette Meet at OCIR.
I ran a 14.03 at ALMOST 100 mph. I won against a 340hp 62 Vette.


BUT, I can say I NEVER went any slower than that ever again.

It was my first time down a 1/4 mile and it felt real fast to me. Back then the fastest I had taken the car before that had been 80mph on the freeway.

However, now when I run low 11's off the bottle the car feels slow.

I think that Carlsbad run was 1990-1991, peg leg and tire frying. The first time I accually went down a track was at Terminal Island around 1993. My Katana 600 turned 11.70's, it was a wheely machine. It felt very fast especially with the bump in the track about halfway down. That bike sure pissed off alot of gsxr 750 owners back then.

Ya it did. We made a lot of $20's off that bike and only one guy could figure out what you did.

It's all relative isn't it?

At least low 10's still feels fast. Tomorrows race will be the last for the Chevelle with it's current engine configuration. I'm going pull it apart and go through it after this. Hopefully when it's back together it'll run 10's on the engine without N2O.

10s without N2O. Are you going to use some kind of Forced Induction or be NA?

I've seen the videos of your Chevelle run. Like I've said before--- impressive.
